Deinterlacing video IN SV10
Hi all new here, my first post. I’m breaking into the HD camcorder world and have a couple questions. OK when I’m shooting in ACH 1080 with my Canon Vixia HF R300 and import into sony vegas 10 is there a need to deinterlace the footage for rendering in 1080? Remember that this stuff is very new to me but I’m not a total stranger to Sony Vegas. I just don’t actually see a setting to deinterlace in Sony Vegas. My thinking is that I don’t have to do this unless I render 1080 footage down to 720 ? Part of the problem that I have with rendering in 1080 is that I get the famouse “memory error” failure or my system just plain locks up. This does not happen every time but 40 nto 50% of the time. The reason I’m asking is that I made some test footage and uploaded it to youtube and a viewer saw I didn’t deinterlace right off the bat. I noticed the jagged lines myself a couple times in the video. Is there an easy way to do this ? I know this is a ton of questions but I really look forward to any help.

The jagged lines are interlacing artifacts. What you should do is first set your project properties to match your video-easy enough to do. Go to your project properties, and on the upper right there’s sort of a film strip looking button that says “Match Media Settings” when you hover the mouse pointer over it. Click on it, then click on one of the pieces of video, and it will set the project to match that.
When you render the video is when you want to de-interlace it. Set your de-interlace method to “Blend” if there’s not much motion to blend the odd and even fields of resolution, and set it to “Interpolate” if there’s a lot of motion to avoid losing motion information by merely pulling out half of the interlaced fields, which I think Vegas then deals with by increasing vertical resolution.
